Roll out one pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 12" square. Cut pastry into four 6" squares. Place 1/8 spinach mixture on bottom half of square. Top with 2 shrimp and 2 scallop halves. Brush pastry edges with water. Fold untilled half of pastry over filling, forming rectangle. Press edges closed with tines of fork. Place on large baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry.

Bake in over pre-heated to 500 for 5 minutes, then turn down to 375 and bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden.
